Beautiful ride with a few busy street crossings, but scenery and path through woods are lovely. Downside is only the walkers who won’t go single file when the path is narrow. Appreciate the rest stops throughout the trail.
Became one of my favorites.
The trail is very nice - lots of variety of scenery. In town, neighborhoods, but also parks, prairie, river, ponds, and woods. There’s also lots of little fun detours. Makes for a nice leisurely ride. The trail is not marked particularly well, but it is t as bad as the other reviewer indicates. We used this app to stay on course (or get back on course if we Took a detour).
The path wasn’t always super well marked, but it’s not as bad as the other reviewer said. This app was VERY helpful in guiding us. Some in town, neighborhoods, prairie, woods, ponds, river - and lots of little detours to take advantage of. A very nice leisurely ride.
The trail is well maintained and often within a picturesque forest cover. The trail is very heavily occupied by bikes, though, so it isn't very walker-friendly
The trail has been torn up for the light rail line.
I fairly level ride along the river. Can be a bit on the busy side, especially on the northern end, but still worthwhile. Some stops along the way for water and for scenic overlooks.
The north end of the trail is beautiful, lots of nature. The mid section and southern end is a little less impressive. There are signs... but they can be easily missed, so I recommend bringing a map (or use TrailLink).
A nice gentle climb all the way out of Stillwater, hooks up with the Greenway trail. Ride next to the bubbling creek, and through lots of nature. By far one of my favorites.
Does require a bit of riding on the street, but overall a very nice trail. Couple of good climbs... and a few good brewpubs on the route (plan accordingly).
I am not sure what they are doing with everyone's $5 as both trail heads were a very rough ride. The trail is mostly flat and straight which gets quite boring. Our ride was less than 700ft of elevation for a 50+ mile ride if you go down the Hayward trail as well (which was smoother than the CVT).
The trail was very busy to the point of being a nuisance.
Pros would be a view of the river, few road crossing and the trail is sheltered/shaded for 95% of the ride.
I will not do this ride again, there are too many better rides out there.
TrailLink is a free service provided by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (a non-profit) and we need your support!
